Florida rad group taps GE workflow suite

Radiology & Imaging Specialists of Lakeland, Fla., has invested in GE Healthcare Centricity OneView to create a single radiologist workflow across multiple hospitals.

Centricity OneView is comprised of two primary components. OneView Global Reading manages clinical data and image sharing between multiple RIS and PACS in the background allowing radiologists to utilize existing workflow, tools and systems. OneView Single Patient Jacket improves quality by providing access to patient image sets including local and outside images. OneView also gives the radiologist access to a patient’s historic images and clinical data, the company said.
